CHEF Nand Kishor Yadavs journey from Motihari in Bihar to the Royal Garden Party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh has marked a milestone in his 25-year culinary career. The Indian chef was invited to join King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the event, which is held during Holyrood Week, or Royal Week, when the monarch traditionally spends a week in Scotland during the summer. Being invited to the Palace of Holyroodhouse was an incredibly proud and humbling experience, said Chef Nand. India Independence Day marked at Cardiff Castle Coming from India and building my life and career in the UK, to be invited to an occasion of this significance is something I will treasure for the rest of my life. It was a very special day. Standing at the Palace of Holyroodhouse and being part of such a prestigious occasion made me reflect on the journey that brought me here. I felt incredibly proud of my roots, my journey and everything that lies ahead, he said. Sikh humanitarian honoured for helping 64 families bring loved ones home Born in Motihari, Bihar, Chef Nand began his culinary journey in 1999, training in luxury hotels in Rajasthan. He later worked aboard the Carnival Cruise in the US alongside international chefs. He moved to the UK in 2007 to gain experience in fine dining, including working under British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. He now runs The White Hart in the village of Holyport near London and has a 25-year career spanning India, the US and the UK, with expertise in Indian, French, Italian, Mediterranean and South American cuisines. Chef Nand said he viewed the royal invitation as a celebration of his Indian heritage, his work in the UK hospitality industry and the communities he has supported. Vikram Doraiswami Honoured for Strengthening Ties Throughout my career, I have used my culinary skills and hospitality platform to support communities, contribute to charitable initiatives and give back to people in need, he shared. Through Ninaya Catering, named after his wife and daughters, he is also focused on expanding authentic Indian cuisine across south-east England. He sees the royal invitation as a moment to treasure and part of his Mission Possible vision, a community-driven initiative linked to The White Hart.

UPT20: Abhinandan's 4-fer Guides Lucknow Falcons To 3-wicket Win Over Noida Kings
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: In a gripping, low-scoring thriller, the Lucknow Falcons held their nerve to beat the Noida Kings by three wickets in Match 6 of the UP T20 League at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. While the Falcons walked away with the points, the evening belonged to a remarkable success story from the UPCA's grassroots development program. Despite Noida's narrow defeat, young pacer Shubham Gautam, scouted entirely through the UPCA 'Speed Hunt' initiative and secured for a massive 21.5 lakhs in the auction, justified his price tag with a scintillating spell of fast bowling. Hitting the deck hard, Gautam showcased immense temperament to pick up crucial breakthroughs, finishing with exceptional figures of 3/22 in his four overs and proving the incredible value of the state's talent-scouting vision. The match was officially inaugurated by the Honorable Minister of Khadi and Village Industries, Sericulture Industries, Handloom, and Textiles for the Government of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Rakesh Sachan. The Honorable Minister conducted the toss and set the game in motion by performing the traditional Bell Ringing Ceremony. He was joined by esteemed dignitaries, including UP T20 League Governing Council Chairman Dr. Sanjay Kapoor, Governing Council Member Sanjeev Kumar Singh, and Organizing Committee members Mohanlal Agrawal and Faisal Sherwani. After Lucknow Falcons skipper Bhuvneshwar Kumar won the toss and opted to bowl first, the Noida Kings initially found a steady rhythm, registering a 34-run opening stand. However, the introduction of Navneet Kumar triggered a monumental collapse when he dismissed Shoaib Siddiqui in the fourth over. The turning point arrived in a chaotic fifth over bowled by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Abhinandan Singh. The over yielded three wickets as Abhinandan cleaned up the stumps twice, and Priyam Garg executed a brilliant direct-hit run-out, leaving Noida reeling at 48/5. Shiva Singh attempted a fierce counter-attack for the Kings, smashing three consecutive sixes off Delhi Capitals' Vipraj Nigam in the eighth over. However, his cameo was cut short in the very next over by Navneet, who claimed his third wicket of the night. A gritty 49-run partnership for the eighth wicket between Bobby Yadav and Kartik Siddhu brought some respectability to the total before India international Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed Siddhu in the penultimate over. Abhinandan Singh then returned to wrap up the tail, claiming two wickets in the final over as Noida was bundled out for 136. Abhinandan finished with phenomenal figures of 4/30, rightfully earning the Player of the Match award. Defending a modest 136, Noida Kings needed early wickets and they got exactly that, reducing the Falcons to 41/2. Speed Hunt sensation Shubham Gautam announced his arrival by claiming his first wicket of the season, sending back Mohammad Saif. Wicketkeeper-batter Aaradhya Yadav anchored the tricky chase brilliantly, striking a composed half-century (51 off 42 balls) to keep the Falcons on track. However, Shubham Gautam swung the momentum back in Noida's favor with a sensational 16th over. He struck twice in quick succession, dismissing the well-set Aaradhya and removing Impact Player Ali Zafir Mohsin for a duck, leaving the Falcons in a tense spot at 108/6 with 29 runs required off 24 deliveries. Wicketkeeper-batter Aaradhya Yadav anchored the tricky chase brilliantly, striking a composed half-century (51 off 42 balls) to keep the Falcons on track. However, Shubham Gautam swung the momentum back in Noida's favor with a sensational 16th over.

Here is a select list of stories to start the day.
Geopolitics is rarely a single-lens issue. Chief Minister Omar Abdullahs speech on the 80th Independence Day at Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar, reflected on some of the hard-hitting realities of the entire Jammu and Kashmir divided by Line of Control or LoC. The LoC in itself a contradiction --- an artificial, de facto border, or merely as a line on the map. Omars emphasis that these fault lines can only be corrected through reunification aligns with Indias core national stance. When a prominent Kashmiri leader articulates the reality, it carries a unique geopolitical weight. As the democratically elected head of J&K, he is well within his rights to address the issues concerning the territory and people across the LoC, which officially figures on the Indian map of as part of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir following the 2019 Reorganization. His pitch for restoring statehood and pre-August 5, 2019, constitutional guarantees has a clear backdrop. He argued that PoK residents might seek to join Jammu and Kashmir had those decisions not upended the region seven years ago. Naturally, Kashmiri politics is at play. Interpretations of the August 5 revocationwhich split the erstwhile state into two Union Territoriesremain divided. Yet, the promise of restoring statehood at an appropriate time remains central. The Centre maintains this commitment. It is waiting for the right time. Recent upheavals on the other side of the LoC, where Pakistani forces have unleashed all sorts of atrocities killing people in the streets, mass arrests, clampdown on internet and media - have shattered the illusion of security in the regions named as Azad Kashmir. The foundations of Pakistan were laid on the basis of the religion claiming that Hindus and Muslims were two different nations. Now that theory has gone terribly wrong. This is what Omar emphasized in his I-day speech. The people in PoK have risen against military oppression, sacrificing lives to demand freedom from the Pakistani control. And when Omar, grandson of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah reflects on these systemic failures, the message resonates far beyond the boundaries. We must decode his speech fairly, separating the political flair from his core stance: the return of statehood. His appeal to those across the LoC will fall flat unless he is convincing on this very issue. Ultimately, the situation presents both a complex political dilemma and an urgent demand for the restoration of statehood. The dimensions of geopolitics in South Asia have changed in recent years, particularly with regard to Jammu and Kashmir on both sides of the LoC. PoJK has been the epicentre of what Pakistan claims is the Kashmiri struggle for the right to self-determination. Over the decades, Pakistan has sought to limit the definition of the UN resolutions on Kashmirenvisaging a plebisciteto this side of the Valley alone. Now, the very people of so-called Azad Kashmir have risen in revolt against Pakistan. The myth of a Muslim nation being the sole protector of Muslims in the region has crashed Today , the people in PoJK are sacrificing their lives to regain their freedom, which often translates into a desire to re-join Jammu and Kashmir in its totalitymeaning the entire region as it existed under Maharaja Hari Singhs rule. Technically and legally, the last Dogra king made the final decision to accede to India. However, it is significant that Kashmiris rose against Pakistani tribesmen and the army even before the Instrument of Accession (IoA) was signed. At the risk of their lives, the Muslim-majority Valley had already signalled its choice to be with India, a fact that should not be overlooked. During that crucial time, the Kashmiri leadership guided the people to declare where they stood, which served as an unequivocal declaration of accession before the formal IoA took shape. This ground reality needs to be reaffirmed, to tell Pakistan that Kashmiris had given their verdict in favour of India when it invaded the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir: the people of Kashmir chose India when tribal raiders invaded the erstwhile princely state in 1947. Thats the way India can counter Pakistan and all others questioning it on Jammu and Kashmir, more effectively. This is the message that needs to be grasped and broadcast with all the authority. Who else could have reflected on this historic reality than grandson of Sheikh Abdullah who was in the frontline for leading the masses against the Pakistani invaders. This fact needs to eb appreciated . The people in PoJk, which were enslaved by Pakistani military , must have been regretting why did they miss the bus in 1947- and fell into the trap of Pakistan . History offers a telling example of how deeply the legacy worries Pakistan. In September 2001, as the world reeled from the 9/11 attacks in the US, Pakistans President Pervez Musharraf was visibly rattled. Why? Because Omar Abdullah, then serving as Indias Minister of State for External Affairs, had visited Dushanbe on September 13, 2001. Days later, in his September 19 address justifying Pakistans alliance with the US-led war on terror, Musharraf anxiously referenced that very visit to the Tajik capital. He wondered: What was India doing in Dushanbe.. Musharrafs frustration stemmed from the possibility of India stepping in and snatching the geopolitical and geostrategic advantages that Pakistan had because of its location. That was his way of saying but the man who represented India and discussed the regional security in the wake of 9/11 was Omar Abdullah. The then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had recognized national asset in Omar Abdullah, a Kashmiri Muslim, in the international affairs. The point here is what he says about Pakistan and the affairs in the Pakistan occupied territories across the LoC, carries more weight than others saying the same thing. The Chief Minister has already spoken against the atrocities being committed on the people in PoK, and asserted and re-asserted that the people across are our people . This is a loud echo of what Home Minister Amit Shah has said time and again that not only the territory but also the people of PoJK are ours- whether Muslims or Hindus.

Modi govt dismantled ISI-backed terror network ahead of I-Day: HM
New Delhi, Aug 17: In a major multi-state crackdown ahead of Independence Day, security agencies have dismantled the ISI-backed Shahzad Bhatti Network (SBN), arresting more than 200 operatives and thwarting its plans for subversive attacks across the country, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Monday. In a post on X, Shah said 253 people were detained across 14 states on August 12 as part of the government's 'zero tolerance' policy towards cross-border terrorism. Over 80 FIRs and more than 200 arrests have been recorded against the Pakistan-based terror syndicate, which was linked to grenade, IED and petrol bomb attacks and targeted killings across India. Modi govt destroyed the ISI-backed terror group Shahzad Bhatti Network ahead of Independence Day and thwarted its plans for subversive attacks by arresting more than 200 operatives. Indian security forces ripped apart the network by launching coordinated operations across different locations in 14 states upholding a brilliant example of India's zero-tolerance towards terrorism, Shah said. The Home Minister said substantial recoveries, including IEDs, grenades bearing Pakistan Ordnance Factory markings, pistols, live cartridges, and CCTV cameras used for espionage, were made from the ISI-funded group. The coordinated multi-state operation was carried out on August 12 using a real-time intelligence-sharing system with State Police forces. It led to 253 detentions across 14 states Uttar Pradesh (62), Haryana (52), Delhi (51), Punjab (44), Rajasthan (15), Maharashtra (8), Uttarakhand (5), Karnataka, Gujarat and Bihar (3 each), and Telangana, Himachal Pradesh, J&K and Kerala (2 each) with fresh FIRs registered in Delhi and Karnataka. The SBN network has been paying local conduits to recce police, defence and religious sites, and to install CCTV cameras for espionage. Cumulatively, over 80 FIRs and 200+ arrests have been recorded against SBN under UAPA, BNS, the Arms Act, NDPS Act and Explosive Substances Act. Security agencies reaffirmed the Government of India's zero tolerance for cross-border terror and said coordinated action would continue to dismantle SBN's networks nationwide.

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Fresh off a breathtaking 82-run knock that powered the Meerut Mavericks to a 36-run victory over the Gaur Gorakhpur Lions, opener Swastik Chikara revealed that sharing a dressing room with modern-day great Virat Kohli has shaped his approach to the game. Chikara, who earned his maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) contract following his sensational performances in earlier UP T20 editions, was a part of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) squad that famously lifted the IPL title in 2025. The young batter played a pivotal role in guiding the franchise to the finals in all three previous editions and lifting the title in 2024. During that title-winning 2024 season, Chikara was in a league of his own, finishing as the tournament's leading run-getter with a staggering 499 runs at an average of 49.90 and a strike rate of 185.50, featuring three fifties and a century. He credited his time in the RCB setup, and specifically his close observations of Kohli, for his current mindset and elite preparation. I have learnt from Virat Kohli to focus on your practice and give your 100 percent. I have been trying to follow the exact same approach, Chikara shared after his match-winning performance at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana International Cricket Stadium. His 45-ball 82, studded with nine boundaries and four massive sixes, laid the foundation for the Mavericks to post a season-high total of 206/6. During the innings, he also etched his name in the record books by becoming only the second player in tournament history to hit 100 sixes. Reflecting on his match-winning innings and the team's tactical approach, Chikara noted, I batted well, got a good stand, and helped my team, so I feel very good. It was a very good track, so we knew we could get a good total. We took on the Powerplay. Personally, I like to stand still and hit sixes.
